israel and israel's government will do anything it takes to protect its citizens. and you know, you went after who is to blame here. i was director general, the permanent undersecretary of foreign service when we went out of gaza. we went out of gaza not to look back. we wanted them to make gaza prosperous and a place that what did they turn gaza into? they turned it into a haven of global terrorism, of missiles flying in and out of israeli cities, civilians, and an ammunition dump from weapons coming in from iran, syria, and they're continuing to do that. now no nation, no people and no government could sit idle when, you know, missiles are being shot indiscriminately against civilians. not in london, not in paris and not in washington. >> no rational person would disagree that the rocket firing has got to stop. it is a senseless activity that can only lead to more bloodshed. however, as i said to prime minister netanyahu when i sat down with him in jerusalem last year, this clear repression, oppression, whatever you want to call it on the gaza strip, these people

what does israel want? israel wants hamas to stop firing rockets, especially the long-range rockets, at their populations. certainly there's a good exchange there. but what it's going to take is egyptians or somebody, egyptians are going to be it, providing the security and the guarantees on such an agreement. that's very hard for the egyptians to do. they don't want to be responsible for gaza. so we're going to have to provide -- somebody is going to have to provide inducement for them to do so. i think that's the broad outlines of a cease-fire. a long-term cease-fire. i think it's very doable. >> think about the implications of that. it means the good exchange he talks about is israel stops doing what's legal and that is a blockade and killing terrorists, in exchange for hamas stop doing a double war crime. that's not the way the world should operate. >> let's talk about what is in israel's benefit. what is in israel's benefit and what is the alternative shimon peres was asking about was recognizing they
